An overwhelmed Toni Gonzaga faced the media after her sister Alex Gonzaga was announced as one of the Pinoy Big Brother housemates for its new season. Toni admitted that she would really miss her sister.

On a lighter note, Toni said that she’s partly happy since PBB will give her sister a great learning experience. “I hope marami siyang matutunan and she will take something from this whole experience that will help her and eventually mold her to become a better person.”

Toni previously became a housemate herself and she believes that the whole PBB experience will transform her sister like what happened to her. “Kasi kaming lahat naging housemates (Bianca Gonzalez, John Prats, Robi Domingo). Ang dami naming na-discover sa sarili namin that helped us a lot not just as hosts of the program, ‘yung ano mas naging mabuting tao,” she said.

If she was to give her sister any advice, Toni said she hopes that Alex will learn to take things more seriously especially that she is now a housemate. “Ayun nga kasi si Alex, lahat sa kanya biro, ‘yung mga teacher niya binibiro niya, pag-pinapagalitan siya ni mommy and daddy, binibiro niya. Kanina pinapagalitan ko siya puro biro. She doesn’t take things seriously in life so I think dito kahit papano sumeryoso siya sa ilang bahagi ng buhay niya,” she said.
